After the results of the top eight draws came out, League of Legends gamers at home and abroad continued to discuss and speculate with relish on the grouping of the top eight, and the players of the eight teams that had completed the grouping continued to follow suit. Also start training for the upcoming new round of tests.
But all in all, compared to the tense and fast-paced atmosphere of the previous group stage, everyone's mood was able to relax a little at this time.
The first hurdle has been passed.
The quarterfinals are three days away.
So at least for the next two or three days, the players of each team can get some short rest and adjustment time.
Similarly, this year's finals are different from previous ones. The draw for the top eight did not directly delineate the upper and lower half. After the game, only the places for the top four were determined, and there was no direct confirmation of what the grouping situation of the semi-finals would be.
Then, for the players of the eight teams, there is no need to worry about the grouping of the semi-finals too early, just calm down and prepare for the battle of the top eight in front of them.
It was still morning when I came out of the gym.
The climate in Manchester is pleasant.
The sky is high and cloudy.
Lin Feng and his party chose to give up taking the bus back to the hotel as usual, but walked slowly along the path from the gym, and everyone on the road was chatting casually:
"Hey, this year's top eight didn't directly divide the upper and lower half, which made people very curious..."
"I heard that after the quarterfinals are over, the top four teams will be decided, and then there will be another draw for groups, right?"
"What's there to worry about, anyway, if all three of us make it to the semi-finals, the semi-finals are almost equivalent to a reserved game, and we have to meet everything we should meet."
"Tsk tsk, you have a big voice, is it the most dangerous for you to have the top eight this time—"
"Why, I'm not allowed to do some imagination, and besides, it's enough for us to make it to the quarterfinals this year anyway, so the rewards and bonuses that we should have when we go back to the club won't fall behind at all, okay?"
"There are bonuses for the top eight? That's great... The big bosses on our KG side have decided that the club's rewards will only be available after entering the top four."
Everyone was chatting like this.
Shi Hang turned to look at Lin Feng and raised his eyebrows:
"Hey, the new season is almost here. How will you prepare for your new team?"
"If the progress is not quickened, it is estimated that we will not be able to catch up with the LPL promotion competition."
Huangxue Yege also suddenly looked at Lin Feng:
"Yup."
"This has to be done quickly, otherwise you will have to wait until the S8 season next year if you want to participate in the S-League—"
Shi Hang immediately raised his eyebrows: "Hey, I think it's not bad. Then next year, we will have less troublesome opponents in the LPL competition area, and the pressure will be much less! Right, right, otherwise, Maple, you can slow down and come back in the year afterward!"
There is no doubt about someone's strength between the words.
indeed.
If other objective factors aside, in terms of strength alone, even if the team that someone wants to form has not yet formed, but the former alone is enough to become the absolute guarantee of a team's strength in terms of strength. There is not much suspense about entering the LPL - not to mention that if there are Li Shiyi, Tang Bingyao, and Zeng Rui, who have been confirmed to join, the formed lineup will also have strong competitiveness in the LPL division.
Then the problem is really as Shi Hang and Huangxue Yege said, there will be troubles in terms of time and progress efficiency.
And this was actually mentioned before when people were chatting.
Lin Feng scratched his hair:
"Oh, it's fine."
"I talked to the seniors a few days ago, and they said that it is enough for me to take care of the formation of the team, and I don't need to worry about the rest."
When everyone heard it, they all showed a conscious look, and Dawn Chenxing nodded slightly:
"If it's a few seniors helping to deal with it... there should be no need to worry too much."
The shadow puppet looked at Lin Feng and said sincerely:
"so-"
"Then next year will be really intense."
indeed.
Even in this season of this year, the competition between the various teams in the LPL division has become more and more popular. For example, the fast water team where Shi Hang is a member can fight out and win a place in the finals. It is not easy. , after all, other veteran LPL teams such as Mote, Mingguang and Heiyao have also begun to burst out with new fighting spirit and vitality this year.
And if another team led by Lin Feng joins next year, then the LPL division will truly usher in a new wave of competition.
Even if the KG and God teams can no longer maintain their aloof stance, they will inevitably suffer huge impacts and threats.
"Hey, it's okay, there is competition and there is a challenge."
Huang Xue Yege waved his hand in a big way, but he was very open to this question:
"If we don't even have this bit of competition, what's the point of our LPL division being a dead water all day long, there's no way to compete internally, and it's impossible to have much competitiveness in the World Championship."
The crowd nodded again.
This is indeed the case, because the current LMS division of the Taiwan server is the best negative example, only the Assassin team is the dominant one, and the rest is the Thunder Clan, which ranks second in the LMS division this year, and played in the group stage. The performance can only be described as appalling, and it is not much better than the two wild-card big brother teams.
"Speaking of—"
As if suddenly thinking of something, Shi Hang suddenly spoke again:
"Next year, in addition to our LPL division, other people's European LCS division... Are those from the previous generation going to end?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone could not help but look slightly awe-inspiring.
this matter…
Each of them has heard of it more or less.
Originally, because it was still early when I heard the news, I only felt that the fastest thing would be the new season next year, so I don't need to worry too much for the time being, but now... This year's finals have also reached the quarter-finals, and it's a short distance from next year. The new season is getting closer and closer, so the pressure brought by this news also seems to suddenly blow.
"If I can, even if I fight Minx's The-Sword a few more times, I don't want to meet that senior J."
Tian Tian gave his opinion quite honestly.
Everyone nodded subconsciously.
In this year's finals, the strength of Minx's core ace, The-Sword, is obvious to all. It is definitely at least the top of the seven kings, and even the four emperors are eligible to compete head-on.
But the J of the last generation in Europe—
That's the real Four Emperors.
Maybe even the realm level is higher and more solid than the four queens of the new generation. Regarding this, many of the LPL people present at the moment participated in the Nightingale-Nightingale secret battle last year. The strength of the European legend of the previous generation has a more intuitive and profound experience.
"Your Excellency Crow is also unfathomable..."
Dawn Morning Star sighed.
Then, seeing that everyone's eyes were falling on him, Dawn Chenxing showed a somewhat ashamed expression:
"When I was in the European server king group before, I played in the solo queue for a while."
"Had a fight with that Your Excellency..."
"It's really not as good as people."
